Addressing a rally in Marange, MDC-T leader Nelson Chamisa promised to prioritise the welfare of war veterans, promising to pay them a decent pension amount. Said Chamisa,
Our war veterans are not going to starve in our presence because we appreciate what they have done to this country and, as a country, we are going to ensure that they get what they deserve as gallant sons of this great nation…We are going to pay them a decent lump sum pension according to their contribution to the liberation struggle. Mnangagwa is engaging war veterans because he fears election defeat
